I unplugged the power source to the appliance. I unscrewed 2 screws and unplugged the lid switch.
I replaced the old switch with the new switch and screwed in the same 2 screws that held the old
switch in place and plugged the new lid switch back in under the lid. that's it . I plugged in the washer
and started a load of clothes. works just fine. NO HUGE REPAIR BILL. Gosh it makes me happy to
do such a simple repair to my old machine and for a very reasonable part price, my washer is running like new! thank you also for having such a user friendly web site.
p.s the time before the lid switch, I ordered a belt for the old washer from appliance pros and between the new belt and the lid switch the machine is spinning like a new washer. I'm a grandma who is delighted to be my own repair gal. such a savings!

Being a combo washer dryer made it a challenge, but the bolt holding on the agitator was a problem, the nut part was rusted of so much that a socket grabbed nothing. Not ready to purchase a new washer dryer, seeing no other way, I destroyed the agitator to get to the bolt, the bolt came out with some effort. Everything after that was as stated. A note, you do need to clean and make sure the shaft is smooth and lubed so the seal spring holds the seal to the tub. In all not a big job, bolt took half the total time, aprox 2 hrs. Total cost $179.00 My first time on a combo unit, could cut the repair time in half next time!

I simply removed the broken legs and installed the new ones.
The customer was very appreciative as the washer/dryer was loud and moving around.
It was such an annoying issue that the customer was 150% satisfied!!

This was a fairly easy fix. The only problem I had was that the cover over the retaining nut was difficult to pull off. I changed to a larger pair of pliers and put a little more muscle to it and it popped right out. There was a little corrosion on the shaft that needed to scraped off for the new agitator to slide on easily but after that was gone the new part slid on and with some downward pressure it seated in.
